>> the bart strike, now imminent after nearly a month of frustrating negotiations. that the unions say have effectively gone nowhere. >> we have gone backwards in the last 30 days. >> union reps blame this man, tomahawk, the unions say his hardball tactics have stalled talks. >> he is a tool that is being paid $400,000 of our local taxpayer money to come in and bust up the union and drive down the wages of working families in the bay area. >> why are the unions saying you are the reasons why they made it nowhere on the negotiations? >> you'd have to ask them. >> i did ask them. you have been unwilling to negotiate with them. that you shut them down. >> i don't understand that. but you know, that's their view, i guess. >> why have you been such a lightning rod in these negotiations? >> you have to pick on somebody, right? >> both issues vowed they will

remain at the table throughout the weekend. hawk says negotiations will likely come down to the wire. or beyond. >> i have been involved in stuff for over 40 years. over 40 years, and 400 labor contracts. one. >> now talks will continue tomorrow and also tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m., the unions will actually be attending the bart board of directors, they want to lobby the board to get negotiators who will actually work with them. >> what we know tonight is the union has stated, they have to do legally, they are going to go on strike. the 72 hour notice is out there. does that mean they will definitely go on strike? is there still hope at this hour, we might be able to work something out? >> it's a good indication that a strike may happen. but again, it is not official and they are still talking throughout the weekend. but again, ken, that does set the tone for how negotiations will be.

there's more tension now that the unions have shown that are hand. >> hopefully, cooler heads will prevail. thank you for keeping us updated. and tonight, we ask bart riders, who is making a better case? the result of our exclusive survey u.s.a. poll shows 44% say management is. 19% say the unions are making a stronger argument, and 29% say neither side is doing well. the rest say they are not sure. and thousands of commuters who ride bart are frustrated with fact neither side can reach an agreement. so we wondered, what is really going on inside that room? kpix5's joe vasquez talked to bart's longest serving board member who says the negotiations are the worst he has ever seen. >> i must say, we were not very impressed. >> james has never seen anything like it in his 23 years as a bart board member. after observing the

negotiations today, he is shocked at how little is being done. >> they haven't gotten to the core of the issues that they are talking about. you know, general and sup supplemental. >> is it loud? >> not loud. a little argumentative, but i think bart negotiates that we have one position and that's it. so, i think tell us what it is and the bart negotiation won it. >> wouldn't tell them what it is? >> i don't know how much give and take there is. in all the negotiations i've been in. i'm not saying management is wrong and i'm not saying necessarily that labor is right. but i've never seen a managing style where basically one last offer. but with nothing inbetween. they always say the best and final offer, but negotiations are fluid. >> that's what you are seeing in there? >> it's not fluid. there's just no communication.

we've had 30 days and i have seen no progress. maybe, again, i will be the first to admit. maybe that's a tactic and maybe that's ultimately breaking the union spirit. might be a good thing. i just don't know if that's the most effective thing for the riders of the bay area. >> he believes he and his fellow bart members should be in the room helping with the negotiations. at this point, it couldn't hurt. in oakland, joe vasquez, kpix5. >> the bart strike is looking more and more likely. stay with kpix5 for continuing coverage and start planning now for your alternate commute. car pools, ferries, and buses are all good ideas. for more information, check out our survival guide on our website, kpix.com. looking at life in prison with no possibility of parole. plus, a thousand years. that is a sentence today for ariel castro, the man who held three women keptive for years in a house of horrors.
